How to replace the Air Injection Pump on Subaru Forester?

This is a PCM-controlled secondary air injection system, which is used on turbocharged Forester models manufactured in 2006 and onwards. It functions by pumping in more air into the exhaust pipe during cold starts to help burn off unburned hydrocarbons. There are two secondary air combination valves and an electric air pump, all under the control of a PCM (Powertrain Control Module). The secondary air pump is located at the left front corner of the engine compartment. To replace it, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and then take out electrical connector and hose from the pump; however three mounting bracket bolts should be removed also. In addition, this system has two secondary air combination valves. First, for replacing left valve you need to disconnect electrical connector, remove air duct, unbolt outlet pipe and remove valve. Next comes right valve that needs to be unplugged from intake manifold after having left one been removed. Then unbolt outlet pipe and remove it.

Subaru Forester Air Injection Pump

Subaru Air Injection Pump in Subaru Forester vehicles serve as components of the secondary Subaru Air Injection Pump system which distributes fresh air into the exhaust system. By using this process it becomes possible to increase the fuel oxidation rate which leads to decreased emissions of both hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO). Engine temperature-dependent control delivers pressurized air to both exhaust ports and catalytic converter through an electric or belt-propelled Forester Air Injection Pump system. Engine warm-up requires the air control valve to lead air toward the manifold for controlling emissions from excessive air and fuel mixtures. Engine temperature controls the air routing process through the catalytic converter after the engine achieves operating temperature. The emission control system comes equipped with protective features that stop exhaust from flowing backward through one-way valves as well as a diverter valve that routes exhaust air during braking to stop component harm. Forester Air Injection Pump system performance and operational integrity depend heavily on regular inspections of hoses along with valves to preserve both functions.
